Hi all dear /sci/ bros, I want to read the following journal:
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells
but I will never pay 7k dollars per year to do it to fucking Elsevier.
Do we have an archive of old numbers etc that I can read?
Or can you rip off the last years of it for me if you have an institutional access etc.?
Thank you.

>Current peer reviewing is little more than typo checking.

Reviewing is much like being a janitor on 4chan. You do it for free, you provide free labour to publishers (Elsevier, SAGE, Springer, Taylor and Francis etc.), you had to sift through a bunch of nonsense and pick the least bad papers, you think you're contributing to great scientific discussion when in reality you're not, and at the end of the month you cry yourself to sleep alone in a dimly lit room after eating some hotpockets.

>i swear i remember there being some kind of great surgical atlas by lippincott, maybe called illustrated atlas of surgery by lippincott like they have for pharmacology, biochemistry etc but i can't find it anymore like it never existed. does anyone have a clue?


As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there was no specific surgical atlas titled "Illustrated Atlas of Surgery by Lippincott" published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW). Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is a prominent publisher of medical textbooks and resources, but I don't have access to information about all their publications beyond 2021. It's possible that the title you mentioned may have been released after my knowledge cutoff or could be a lesser-known or regional publication. I recommend checking with medical libraries, bookstores, or online resources for the most up-to-date information on surgical atlases.

There are several well-known surgical atlases available from various publishers. Some of the popular surgical atlases include:

"Atlas of Surgical Operations" by Richard M. Bell and Merril T. Dayton (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)
"Surgical Atlas of the Musculoskeletal System" by Emil H. Schemitsch (Thieme)
"Operative Techniques in Surgery" series by Michael W. Mulholland et al. (Elsevier)
"Atlas of Surgical Anatomy" by Jürgen Fischer (Springer)
"Atlas of General Surgical Techniques" by Courtney M. Townsend Jr. et al. (Wolters Kluwer)

>is there a reason so many great thinkers in the sciences and math are jewish?
Historical reasons for starting advantage due to mass emmigration to the United States to escape discrimination and death. Even where their wealth was taken formerly affluent likely had skills in such management or academic credentials. There's plenty of research comparing stable vs unstable socioeconomic status, intra-inter family education, etc. For example, it is a confound with IQ PGS https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0002929719302319

So within a given SD of IQ a major effect on outcome is going to be socioeconomic status and family educational history. Having a high IQ independently is moderately predictive, but having a high IQ in the right context of already having connections or family ties to academia is even more predictive with respect to something like academic career. Numerous examples such as,
British data https://www.nature.com/articles/s41539-022
-00120-3
cross-national https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4749462/
With many caveats, influences vary greatly dependent upon IQ too https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2741638/
Paraphrased,
'2SD below mean IQ, 70% of the variance in EA (educational attainment) was correlated with shared environmental influences, and only 12% was genetic. At 2 SD above mean IQ, this reverses. 7% of the variance in EA correlated with environment and 66% correlated with genetic'
Holding cognitive ability constant there are strong (27% more likely) academic tendencies on SES https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0038040719830698

Altogether as a big picture the examples, and there are many more, evidence my initial remark. Starting advantage has a "sticky" effect on academic tracks even controlling for cognitive ability.

>Uhhh for mRNA it would be hours. I think you are equivocating the mRNA with the spike protein, and then the spike protein with the antigens.
No. I find it concerning you're preaching with old information and seem to be clueless about something that's been known for over a year.

>The observed extended presence of vaccine mRNA and spike protein in vaccinee LN GCs for up to 2 months after vaccination was in contrast to rare foci of viral spike protein in COVID-19 patient LNs.
So the spike protein (and mRNA) are hanging around longer in the vaccinated than in the infected. I thought the vaccines were supposed to mimic infection, not create the illusion of an ongoing infection so the immune system develops a tolerance? SARS-CoV-2 is not pollen, you want immunity, not tolerance.

>and persistence of spike antigen accumulated in the GCs of mRNA vaccinees and detectable vaccine RNA in GCs for up to 2 months post-second dose.
The mRNA persists for up to 2 months. It may actually be longer, but it can be at least 2 months. But since you brought up the spike protein, that was only supposed to last for two weeks. That time frame is now up to 6 months based on other papers, but I don't feel like doing more research for you.

publishers are shit but they're the only places that people who know their shit get their shit published. much more scientific than reductionist internet videos that are obviously made by dumbasses who are incapable of reading a textbook.
prefer open access and use sci-hub for paywalled papers. open access has its flaws but its less bullshit than publishers like elsevier.

I'm hoping some guys here can help me to better articulate/understand something about mental fatigue so if you know about the brain I'd appreciate the help.
You know the kind of brain drain you feel when you've been studying very hard all day, you get to the evening and then you hit the wall. You want to keep working but your brain is just too drained, you might even be wide awake on caffeine or medication but your thinking/processing capacity is greatly diminished.

What *is* that exactly and what is happening inside the brain? I know it's a number of factors, but what are they specifically. I ask as I want to look into recovery aspects of these, I know sleep trumps all of them as this is when vessels in the brain open up, waste products are flushed out, neurotransmitters are replenished, memories consolidated etc but where can I find that in more detail.

I've been looking around and see something about a buildup of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex,

Stop spamming these unfunny, AI-generated book charts. The meme charts /sci/ hand-made are a billion times better because
(1) the books are hard, meaning it will filter retards (yours won't)
(2) these charts have an actual structure (yours don't)
Thus, meme charts will filter morons but still prove valuable to anyone with an IQ higher than 120.
Your "advice", on the other hand, is as sound as telling a uni math student to read 80 elementary calculus books before moving on to 112 elementary algebra books, and then lastly all Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences books.

>Guys I'm a future doctor taking organic next year. Tell me how to get a good grade!
Just make sure you memorize everything. Don't bother trying to understand the concepts, that's a waste of time and meant for actual chemistry students who'll need it later on. It's a lot easier if you just brute force your way through it and memorize all the mechanisms.

>I'm a pissant undergrad, how do I into synthesis research?
Go walk up to a professor and tell them you want to work in their lab. Most are glad to take on a new student, provided you aren't completely retarded - you're basically free labor. Note that if your school has a lot of future doctors then you might have to compete with them on grades, some of them might also be bumming the prof so they could pad up their applications. Also, note that if you're at a big fancy school you're gonna need good grades regardless bud

the catch is that those publishing will have to pay fees to make the article classified as "open access" and the money to pay these fees will come from the same grants that fund the research, meaning the public is paying for the publishing fees at the end of the day. at least they get to read it though.
unfortunately this won't end with every executive at elsevier committing very public suicide like many of us who deal with them hoped

But their financial system wasn't the question and these days we have to publish everything with open access anyway. However, as scammy as the are, a paper published in an Elsevier journal is 1000 times more trustable than in journal of applied homeopathy.

Fuck off Elsevier shill. Nobody in my university likes them, why the fuck are you making excuses for them? They're a bunch of crooks who get rich off the effort of thousands of researchers who are too meek and gay to do anything about it.
Imagine fucking writing a book on 4chan defending Elsevier god damn it neck yourself
